Chapter 19
Mrs. Lin fainted from anger
“I’m sure.” Pei Yilan made up her mind.
She looked at the alley diagonally opposite. “Jiaojiao, I don’t want to leave any regrets even if I might be wrong.”
Lin Jiao had no intention of stopping her anymore.
She followed her gaze. “The shops nearby are all equipped with surveillance cameras. You can bribe them and check the camera footage.”
At least, it was better than going to the casino alone.
Pei Yilan was enlightened. “Jiaojiao, you are smart!” She blinked. “Let’s come back after work?”
“Alright.” Lin Jiao would feel more at ease keeping an eye on her.
She placed her fair fingers on the coffee cup that was covered in a layer of water vapor. “How’s everything in the PR department?”
“Not bad.”
“Sheng Heng will have a new product launch next month. I think you’ll be busy.”
“That’s right.” Pei Yilan turned her head to the side and stretched her neck. Her eyes lit up as she said, “That’s why I have to find him as soon as possible!”
She went back to the topic again…
Lin Jiao’s ear was buzzing from listening to her talking about her crush.
When she finally ended the conversation, there was not much left of the two-hour lunch break.
“Jiaojiao, see you after work!” Pei Yilan said goodbye to her in the elevator. For some reason, she was exuding the aura of someone in love.
Lin Jiao smiled faintly. “Okay.”
When she returned to the planning department and was going through the electronic documents, she received a message from Pei Zhi.
“Have you woken up from your nap yet?”
“I didn’t take a nap. I just had coffee with Yilan.”
When Pei Zhi saw this, he remembered his niece, who had been blocked by him for a few days. “Did she come to work?”
“That’s right.” After typing, Lin Jiao sent a confused emoji. “Don’t you know?”
“She didn’t tell me.”
Of course, even if she did, he wouldn’t be able to see it.
Pei Zhi did not want to talk about his niece, so he changed the topic. “Have you finished reading the company’s product information?”
Lin Jiao sent a nodding emoji.
“Not bad, your progress is very fast.”
“Of course.”
Lin Jiao stared at the word “typing” on the chat box. Just as she was waiting for him to reply, an unknown number came in.
“Jiaojiao.” Afraid that she would hang up, Gu Quan spoke faster than usual. “Auntie Lan fainted.”
“What’s going on?!”
“I was on my way sending Su Tian to the beauty salon when I bumped into her. She thought…”
He did not finish his sentence, but Lin Jiao understood.
She asked Gu Quan for the address and went to the manager’s office to apply for leave before rushing down.
“Miss Lin?” Qu Shao bumped into her in the hall.
When he didn’t get a response from Lin Jiao, he went up to stop her out of worry. “Miss Lin, did something happen?”
Lin Jiao called an Uber driver on the phone but the request hadn’t been accepted.
Therefore, when she heard Qu Shao’s voice, she felt like she had found her savior. “Brother Qu, can you send me to the hospital?”
“Which hospital?”
“Ren De.”
Qu Shao agreed without thinking.
He brought Lin Jiao to the parking lot to get his car. After understanding the situation, he comforted her. “Don’t worry, your mother will be fine.”
Lin Jiao nodded, still worried.
She swiped the screen and turned it off. She repeated the same action several times but could not calm down. “Brother Qu, how long will it take?”
“About ten minutes.”
“Good.”
After she sat down, Qu Shao stepped on the accelerator and drove her to the hospital as quickly as possible.
